The Gospel Concert @ RAM this past Saturday was a huge success, thanks to everyone who participated and to everyone who came out! The building was packed out as we offered up praises unto the Lord Jesus Christ. Perhaps the most rewarding part of the evening for me was hearing several hundred voices resound, all the way to the ceiling, as I was fortunate enough to lead the congregation in "How Great is Our God." Overjoyed, I stopped singing for a moment and allowed the audience to minister to me. God is truly awesome. The rest of the night was epic as God used the Rehoboth Reunion Choir ,organized by Minister Miguel Von,

and the House of Prayers Choir, lead by Brother John Thomas, to minister. Also, Sister Brittany Thomas graced us all with her wonderful praise dance. Indeed, the night was an encouragement for many of us.

As we continue in our walk with Jesus Christ, I hope that someone can draw, from that night, inspiration. Let's use that, and many services to come, as stepping stones to elevate us to the next level in Christ Jesus.

Oh and by the way, I know this is SUPER unrelated, but I wanted to share this scripture with someone who may need it. "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee" (Isaiah 26:3).

Hey all! I've been extremely occupied in preparation for the Gospel Concert @ RAM this weekend! Tonight, the musicians and vocalists are coming together for one last rehearsal before the event. Each rehearsal thus far has been epic, but we're expecting even more on Saturday. The concert kicks off promptly @ 6pm this Saturday, so don't be afraid to leave a little bit early. I hope that you all come out and have fun with us, as we celebrate our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Indeed, the music will be dope, but that's not the extent of this concert; come with an expectation that Jesus Himself will meet you there.

This passed Friday completes week 2 of the Live2Give SoCal Benefit Tour. Bands such as Down to Earth, Hyphen Worship Band, New Movement and May Nalasa raised yet another $1,100 for missionaries that evening (there are still 2 tour dates left, you can check out my "current" page for the listings).

At any rate, the night was truly a success as we accomplished what we set out to do: a) to propagate the Gospel and b) to raise money for the missionaries. We had a wonderful time and I personally believe that many left the concert that night impacted.

Yet, no matter how much money we've raised or how many people we've impacted, certainly there is more to do. Reflecting on this passed weekend, it occurred to me that we cannot rely on yesterday's anointing, for we live in the ever-present.

In the Lord's Prayer, Jesus prayed "give us this day our daily bread" (Matthew 6:11). Likewise, we should be praying that same prayer, daily. One cannot eat yesterday's meals. Therefore, yesterday's prayers, blessings, scriptures, and relationship aren't sufficient for today nor were they meant to be. We must continually Walk with Christ, each and everyday.

We cannot grow complacent as the church of the Laodiceans. (Revelations 3:14-19). They were rich and yet wretched, for they did not thirst for righteousness. You could say that they had the best facility, the nicest band, the dopest choir, the most talented preachers and yet, did not have the relationship that God desired for them to have.

The Bible says that they were "lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot" (Rev. 3:15). In other words, they weren't passionate in either direction, but comfortable in their current state. However, we as Christians cannot afford to be comfortable in ministry nor can we be satisfied solely with the gifts that God has given us-- there must be an ever-reaching hand towards Jesus Christ.

Even though we wrap up the Live2Give tour after this Friday and Saturday, the giving does not stop. In fact, it has just begun. From this tour on, let our lives reflect Live2Give, as we give ourselves unto the Lord and unto our brothers and sisters through ministry.
